What's going to be really interesting is when the UK votes "Out" which is what I think will happen.

I don't however think we will be allowed out. That's the point were people might realize what is going on.

But we are not in the Eurozone,thank heavens so Germany won't need to get a hard on about that bit. But what they will look at is if we leave they will end having to pay more in to the EU coffers.
 
It's started already.The bar I work in 3 nights a week (and get paid very well) has closed as of last night.Would have been nice for the owner to let me know after my set........... instead of letting the guests know over the microphone first.
Harsh lad. Are you in falaraki ?

Sorry to hear that.
 
In 1929 the US produced 42% of the World's Output with Germany, UK and France combined at 28%.
That's 70% for these 4 Imperialists.

So we now have US on 23% and Germany, UK and France combined 13%, totaling 36%.

More killing is required to take back whence we came.

- GREEK BAILOUT -

It is a slow day in a little Greek Village. The rain is beating down and the streets are deserted. Times are tough, everybody is in debt, and everybody lives on credit.
On this particular day a rich German tourist is driving through thevillage, stops at the local hotel and lays a €100 note on the desk, telling the hotel owner he wants to inspect the rooms upstairs in orderto pick one to spend the night.
The owner gives him some keys and, as soon as the visitor has walked upstairs, the hotelier grabs the €100 note and runs next door to pay his debt to the butcher.
The butcher takes the €100 note and runs down the street to repay his debt to the pig farmer.
The pig farmer takes the €100 note and heads off to pay his bill at the supplier of feed and fuel.
The guy at the Farmers' Co-op takes the €100 note and runs to pay his drinks bill at the tavern.
The publican slips the money along to the local prostitute drinking at the bar, who has also been facing hard times and has had to offer him "services" on credit.
The hooker then rushes to the hotel and pays off her room bill to the hotel owner with the €100 note.
The hotel proprietor then places the €100 note back on the counter so the rich traveller will not suspect anything.
At that moment the traveller comes down the stairs, picks up the €100 note, states that the rooms are not satisfactory, pockets the money, and leaves town.
No one produced anything.
No one earned anything.
However, the whole village is now out of debt and looking to the future with a lot more optimism.
And that, Ladies and Gentlemen, is how the bailout package works.
 
If you're relating to your earlier reference to HSBC shares then you'll only lose if you sell.

I would have thought owning bank shares in the current environment is a risky strategy, not only with Europe but with all that's happening in China?

@hktoffee hope you sold all your bank shares......
